Up North Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) @Xr4tiCrewThey are tiny. Not sure how well the picture will show size but I will say they make my neon tetras look huge. Some have some orange/ red on the fins. I have all 10 in a 5 gallon aquarium, once they grow I will more some to another tank but at their current size I feel good about having 10 in a 5 gallon.

RadMax8 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Aqua Huna ships them young. Make sure you give them a low-stress, well-fed, clean environment to grow and develop in! Last time I bought a batch at my LFS I paid $45 for six of them, or $7.50 per. I think they had them listed at $8 per. From my understanding, they are relatively easy to breed and raise, the main issue is volumes. These aren’t fish that are popping out a few hundred eggs a day. Hm, seeing these prices maybe I need to invest in breeding these bad boys… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up North Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 They definitely do ship them small, good thing one of my favorite parts of keeping fish is watching them grow. I will do an update after about a month so people will have a better idea of size after quarantine pierod. I know size is a concern when adding to an aquarium with full grown fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJenna Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 CPDs here in Indy are 9.99. Price increase due to popularity perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up North Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 My CPDs already started breeding. After doing a 50% water change I noticed 4 tiny fry in my aquarium. Don't want to think about how many ended up in the house plants from the water change. I got them just over a month ago from aquahuna and they came in so small I never imagined they would be of maturity to breed. I wish I hade the time to tend to the fry, I will just have to let nature do its thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeve Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 9.99 a piece in Nashville TN. I wanted to order some from Aqua Huna because I've lost 2 of the 8 I bought. Just never shipped fish before and nervous. Mine are starting to color up and they are just so neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 CPD's here in Los Angeles range from $4-$7. They used to be pricier but lots of people are breeding them now so they got cheaper I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
